THE GAGE PLAYERS – Amateur Drama Group

Auditions will take place at 8pm on Wednesday, 9th and Monday, 14th January, 2019 at Christchurch Hall in Walton Street, Walton-on-the-Hill, Surrey KT20 7RT, with rehearsals to start there from 6th February, 2019.

An amateur drama group is rehearsing in a theatre at the end of a pier. A storm is building up and any thought of leaving the theatre is baulked by finding that somehow all the exit doors are locked from the outside. A ghostly presence flits across the stage and when the assistant stage manager falls to certain death through a trapdoor, the players begin to flap. Then one of the actresses is found poisoned, and it becomes clear that a murderer is in their midst . . .

‘Suffragettes’
A new play by Paul King
The play uses a mixture of drama, music, humour, and slides to tell the story of the suffragette movement (the Women’s Social and Political Union – WSPU) in the period between 1912 and the outbreak of WW1. There are three intertwined stories: the split within the Pankhurst family; the increasing level of suffragette bombing, arson and violence; and Emily Davison’s increasing desperation until her death at the 1913 Epsom Derby.
To see the play in action there is a 7 minute video on You Tube:https://youtu.be/AMIZv1CJmoI
If you’re interested in finding out more about the play, a 20 page script sample is available from the author. A support package containing the slides and backing tracks for the three songs is also available.
